The San Luis Pass Fishing Pier has become a favorite photography location of mine. First of all, I really enjoy the area, you have beaches, marsh, birds and other wildlife, there's usually people around you can use as subjects for your pictures and video, and its just a short 45 minute drive from my house.

On Oct 26th the moonrise was coinciding with the sunset and clear skies,  I knew the sun would set at 6:41 and the moon would rise 14 minutes later, so I positioned myself on the westside of the pier and waited for the moon. After a few minutes a large full moon started to appear, after a minor adjustment to my position I started recording the scene with my Canon XH A1 video camera, I also shot some still images as well.

Although, I didn't get the color in the eastern sky I was hoping for, the impressive blood red moon had all the color this shot needed.
